Dell Insprion 9400 ATIx1400 Issues......

[sbmrail]

I know that the ATIx1400 video card sucks in the OSx86 world but i have a question for anyone out there that is using it with 10.5.3 or newer version of OSx Leopard installed.

 

I have noticed that if I am running any version newer then 10.5.2 with QuartsExtreme enabled that DVD video's and iphoto08 or iphoto09 the image is black or gray (based on the installed version of software.) If I run 10.5.2 everything works ok with minimal mouse taring. I know I should just get into the nvidia world of cards and everything will be ok.

 

Has anyone noticed this issue with anything newer then 10.5.2 installed????

 

Any issues with the nvidia cards for this laptop ??? 7800 or 7900 cards???

 

Everything else works great I have even purchased Leopard 10.5.6 with ilife09 just to support the Apple work on a great OS!!!

 

I am planing to get a newer nvidia card for my machine but on Ebay there going for $250+

 

Thanks for the info!!
